3 hours ago ago from Conservative Thoughts and Profundity

via: patriotpost.us The New York Times' Nicholas Kristof recently wrote a column about John Brodniak of Oregon, who developed a cavernous hemangioma, causing him great pain as blood leaks into his brain.

Health insurance should be nationalized?

16 hours ago ago from amasell

The big debate in politics in the last 8 years or so is whether to nationalize health care.
